a change of speed

lest one think i am disgusted with absolutely everything right now, here's a few things i feel otherwise towards. mostly rather frivolous, but. just to prove a point...

a) Radiohead's new album title: "Hail to the Thief." <3 <3 <3...er, we'll have to see if the album itself is as good as the title, ne? ^.-

b) the sweater jumper i'm wearing just now. i have no pictures of it, but i really like it. i shamelessly stole borrowed it from Mariam quite some time ago (years, even), and never did get around to giving it back. i refer to it as my Draco sweater jumper. although it's really more of a low-rent Draco sweater jumper, as i'm sure he'd never be caught dead in a material so base as acrylic. but it's the sort of soft, plushy acrylic one often finds chenille yarns out of, and feels really lovely against one's skin. it is forest green and v-necked, and looks quite nice and more than slightly private-school-ish. i should dig my scarf out and wear it, too. XD

c) Dirty Damon. i think (and this is mostly all your fault ) i am in the midst of renewing my love for Blur right now. even without Graham, which i thought would be next to impossible. still have much wub for Graham, but man. "Out of Time" is gorgeous. as are other things. and his fragile, warbling falsetto still amuses me to no end. XD

d) knowing i'm not alone and not crazy. (well, about certain things.)

e) Sabina's fic challenge. eheh. >D

f) having time off at the end of this week, in which i shall sequence my little heart out. myself and the MMT-8 will be spending much quality time together. *cracks knuckles*

g) the idea that after such incidents as this one involving GY!BE being detained as possible terrorists, one wonders if any group of people numbering over one in a vehicle can be considered "suspicious." soccer moms? oh, definitely. stupid twits in SUVs on cell phones? that cell phone might be a gun! arrrrrrgh! XD

h) [added at 9:49am on Wednesday, 26th March 2003] oh yes. the F1 Grand Prix of Malaysia. Alonso on POLE!!!!! AN ALL RENAULT FRONT ROW!!! and the result! fantastic! want to smack Schumi, but that's nothing new. *.*;;; and at least he wasn't on the podium. and he even got punished! amazing!

i) [added at 9:49am on Wednesday, 26th March 2003] this week's Onion. <3 <3 <3 would be more amusing if it weren't so close to home, but is still damn funny. there are loads of things like that lately, actually.

j) [added at 11:21am on Wednesday, 26th March 2003] oh yes. and lest i forget, get your war on.

[edited later on sometime, as all the "sweaters" refused to stay put in anything referencing Draco. they Just Didn't Look Right. pmmmf. ]
